Fox News Was "Full Woke" Following Coffee Request Incident That Resulted in Security Call, Comedian Tyler Fischer Says

Fischer expressed his annoyance on X (formerly Twitter) on April 16 by declaring, "I will no longer be on @Gutfeldfox TV show after almost 2 years." Regretfully, they became fully conscious. and expelled me for an extremely implausible cause. He said that the alleged "crime" was an innocent-seeming coffee offer. "Asking a grown adult for coffee is not against the law or any of the regulations at Fox, but in the world of woke mind viruses, any male approach is branded as toxic masculinity," he continued.

That is just half the tale, though.

According to a person with knowledge of the January 2025 incident, which took place within Fox News' New York offices, the situation is much different. They assert that when Fischer allegedly took her phone, typed in his number, and demanded she check it was saved, their conversation descended into an awkward area. The woman was apparently so distressed by the scenario that she called security. He was then removed off the floor, Fischer told the Daily Mail.

Fox News has refrained from making any public remarks regarding the issue.

Fischer is not giving up, though. He claims to have evidence of the actual nature of the encounter and says he is seeking legal advice for what he terms "defamation." "This is completely crazy," he wrote on social media.

Additionally, Fischer criticized Fox News' guest pay policy, claiming that rotating guests on Gutfeld! do not receive payment for their appearances. He commented that the preparation work for the show is just as hard as that of the paid regulars, saying, "You are treated like an intern, not like a professional guest."

Prior to his final show in January, Fischer has made fifteen appearances on Gutfeld!. The 45-minute comedy special No Pardon Needed With Tyler Fischer, which was filmed at Joe Rogan's comedy club in Austin, Texas, debuted on Fox Nation, the network's streaming service, that same month. The special, which was marketed as "a satirical look at the current condition of politics and culture," included Fischer's well-known impressions of notable people such as Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump.

"A rising talent in stand-up comedy and multimedia development," according to Fox News at the time, Fischer's observations and cultural satire cut across party boundaries.

That story is now complicated by the incident and Fischer's following accusations.

Others could contend that the story serves as a reminder of how easily professional dynamics can degenerate when personal boundaries are disregarded, even though Fischer presents it as an illustration of cancel culture gone awry. As always, the reality most likely lies in the gray area between Fischer's wry tweets and the murmurs of a network that is keeping quiet.

This narrative is less about political correctness at a time when words like "woke" are being used like verbal grenades and more about power, personal perception, and how, depending on the situation, even a coffee invitation may become a security request.

It is unclear if this will result in legal action or a silent decline into comedy club legend. Fischer, however, is not going quietly just yet.
